Chapter 983 - Sucker For You (2/2)

”You're heavy,” said Xiu.

”Mommy!!!” whɨnėd Rowan and in the end, she had to carry his highness to his bed. Really, her family's little ancestor was spoiled in his own way but there was no way around it. She just loved this small man too much. Perhaps, a little less than how much she loved her big man.

It seemed Rowan was really tired as he fell asleep in Xiu's arms and when she put him on his bed, he didn't even move. Xiu's heart softened at the sight. He was so comfortable in her arms that he fell asleep instantly without any fear.

When she went back to her room, she looked at her husband, ”What have you been teaching our son?”

”What did I do?” asked Darren feigning ignorance.

”Don't pretend with me,” Xiu hit his leg. ”It's you who told him to use his eyes on me. Didn't you?”

Darren couldn't hold back his smile as he told her honestly, ”He asked how to coax mommy and I just told him the way I coax mommy.”

”Oh? So you coax me with your eyes?” retorted Xiu in amusment.

Darren moved over to hold her in his arms as he kissed the corner of her lips saying, ”No, I just charm you with my eyes, and then...” As his hands became unruly, Xiu slapped his hands away.

”Save it! We have to go camping tomorrow,” reminded Xiu.

”Did you tell Rowan?”

”Wouldn't he be happier if it came as a surprise?”

”That's also true,” agreed Darren. ”Did you prepare everything?”

”What do you think?”

Darren looked at her, ”Well, my Sweets is always prepared.” He laid down and asked, ”By the way, who is going with us?”

”Li bro, Ah-Si and Nora along with Asteria and Ava,” answered Xiu. ”Oh, and the last-minute addition is gonna be Jackie.”

”Did he say he is coming?” asked Darren. ”No, that's not right. He specially asked me for the astronomy convention's ticket which is tomorrow.”

Xiu gave him a knowing look, ”He'll come. Wanna bet?”

Darren shook his head, ”From my experience of watching Didi lose way too many bets with you, I'm definitely not gonna take a chance.”

”How boring,” commented Xiu.

”Oh, why don't we bring Dylan and Cali as well?”

”I already asked,” said Xiu.. ”Dylan said he'll tell me tomorrow.”
